New hiring rules. Any test given to a candidate has to be taken by the existing team, and 80% of them have to pass it.

If the job description asks for a minimum of 5 years of experience, it needs to include an explanation of why 4 years isn’t enough.

After 2 rounds of interviews, the company needs to explain what additional information they expect to get from this round and why they didn’t get it during the last round.

The hiring manager must spend as much time giving feedback to each rejected candidate as it takes for a candidate to apply for the job.

None of these are realistic, but neither is the hiring process. The only way for me to make the strangeness of the whole thing obvious is through hyperbole.

If you’re a senior leader reading this and thinking, ‘That’s absurd!’ Now you know how candidates feel looking at the hiring process.

It’s ineffective, and we’re all indoctrinated into thinking it isn’t. It’s a Rolls Royce concept car that can’t get past a speed bump because of the wheels’ design.

I'm passionate about fixing the hiring process because companies will go out of business if they don’t get access to data and analytics talent. I could design a dominant strategy for a client, but empty chairs can’t execute.

I started seeing the impacts on execution five years ago, and it’s gotten worse since then. Transforming the hiring process must be part of the digital, data, and intelligent transformation plans.

It needs a C-Suite sponsor, and leadership goals should include hiring process continuous improvement KPIs.

Hiring needs strategic leadership and planning for businesses to attract the talent required to execute successfully.
